2021 “VEGAS CHAMPIONSHIP” FORMAT AND PLANS

d

We are still saddened by having to post-pone our championship, but our 2021 “MEGA” Championship is our way of turning the “lemons” we have been given this year… into one Giant Pool of Cash!!  We will not have dates for this championship ready until we get clearance from Las Vegas and our Venue to start planning.  Once those dates are available, we will announce with PLENTY OF TIME to plan.  

Here is the anticipated championship format for the 2021 Vegas Championship, that will be effectively combining both the 2020 and the 2021 National Championships into one “Mega” Championship in Las Vegas in 2021.

Qualification for the 2020 National Championship (Day 1A)
Will end on May 3, 2020
Your FINAL chance of qualifying for Day 1A was Sunday, May 3rd.
No seat winners after May 3, 2020 can play in Day 1A. No exceptions!

Qualification for the 2021 National Championship (Day 1C)
This means your FIRST Chance of qualifying for Day 1C will be Sunday, May 10th
No seat winners on May 10th, 2020 or later can play in Day 1A, that is exclusively for 2020 qualifiers.

 

What does this mean for 2020 “Invited Players” from the “Season 9 Super League Ranking”?
All Super League, Season 9 players that earned an invite to buy into our 2020 National Championship will have this invite extended to Day 1A of the 2021 Combined Championship.  Players that play in day 1A can play the second chance, Day 1B.  This is not good Day 1C or Day 1D of the newly formatted championship.

To earn an invite or a seat into Day 1C, you will have to earn that invite or seat AFTER May 10th, 2020.

How Do You Earn An Invite for Day 1C?
Right now, the only way to play in Day 1C is to win a seat on May 10, 2020 or after!   The Super League Ranking has been suspended until the majority of our live events are back up and running.  Once we do resume this, there will be a way to earn invites to the championship.

What’s The Prize?

We anticipate at least a $400,000+ Total Prize Pool, with the possibility of much more if we are back to our regularly scheduled events.   The ultimate prize pool will depend on how many local games, online games, “PRO” members, qualifiers, and players joining us in June 2021!

It will certainly will be more than any of our events in our 6 year history of creating the World’s Largest Bar Poker Championships!!

When?
Exact and Confirmed Dates will not be set until we are able to get approvals.   This is based on too many factors to give anyone a date right now.  We fully expect this to be hosted in 2021 and as things get solidified or if they have to be moved we will give everyone as much notice as possible.

“STEP 2: ONLINE QUALIFIERS”
Starting May 10, 2020
We will start qualifying players for “their choice” in championship all the way up to this 2021 Championship.  Seats won as of May 10th and on, would be exclusively for Day 1C of the combined championship because this is essentially the 2021 Championship.
